Good morning/afternoon/evening Reddit techies!
Two days ago I was enjoying a game of Counter-Strike when out of nowhere my mouse suddenly became entirely unresponsive (no movement, no clicks registering, nothing) for about a second - which if you've played a first person shooter seems like an eternity! I finished out the final 10 minutes or so left in the match (even with my problems, I couldn't let my e-brothers in arms hanging) with it happening maybe two more times, exactly the same as the first time. After the game I went straight to Google to try and figure out what exactly was going on. After a few pages of searching (with the mouse becoming unresponsive/losing power a few times while doing so) I didn't come up with much so I began my own attempts to fix it. Another thing of note, sometimes when it becomes unresponsive, it lasts longer than others - when this happens I unplug it/plug it back into a different port it begins working immediately (never has it not worked, if only for a few moments) whereas if I plug it back into the same port it sometimes does not. It seems to happen far more often when using either of my USB 3.0 ports and the "freeze" up seems to last longer. Onto what I've tried:
1.Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers for the mouse
2.Updated motherboard USB drivers, went on to update all mobo drivers I could
3.Ensured my Windows USB selective suspend setting was disabled in power options
4.Tried my mouse on my laptop (although not on a game) - It worked fine the entire time I used it (even w/o the SteelSeries drivers)
5.Posting to the Reddit Tech Gods. (this is where we are)
My computer specs:
*Windows 10,
*ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0
*AMD FX-8150 Eight Core @ 3.6 GHz
*EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB SSC
*G.SKILL Ripjaw 8GB (2x4GB)
*Thermaltake 750W PSU
*500 GB HDD
*Logitech K120 USB Keyboard (No issues whatsoever)
*And finally, the culprit, a SteelSeries Sensei [RAW] mouse
